This weekend, your winners will be the Rams, Vikings, Patriots, Steelers, and "Sideways" in the Golden Globes. I'll of course be watching the Rams' game the closest, but the best matchup is New England vs. Indianapolis. I read yesterday that the Patriots' grounds crew has left the field uncovered during the week despite some very inclement weather. This tactic is, of course, designed to slow down Peyton Manning and the Colts' potent offense, similar to the way the crews in Candlestick Park and Wrigley Field used to water down the infield to slow down Whitey Herzog's baseball Cardinals.
Here's the thing- football should be played indoors. Traditionalists will argue that the game was designed to be played outdoors amidst the elements, but I would remind those persons that the traditional football elements are the elements of Autumn, not January- or even November. Look at the oldest football records, those of the college ranks at the turn of the last century. They played five or six games a year, and were home with their families watching the Lions on Thanksgiving. Build a roof over your football team, Green Bay and Foxboro. We want to see what the best athletes are capable of achieving, we want to watch the games in comfort (especially considering the exorbitant ticket prices,) and we want to see the cheerleaders in tight fitting clothes.

Pittsburgh gave the Jets every chance to win that game. I was planning on writing an ode to Kurt Warner on just how difficult it is to deliver on the promise of the regular season during the playoffs, but Roethlisberger gets a reprieve. I enjoyed the ESPN.com review of his performance: He gave his playoff paycheck to tsunami relief, almost matching his charity in giving away the football during the game.
That last one was me.
Surely, in a world that produces MacGyver, the Greatest American Hero and the horribly dated Murphy Brown on DVD, there is room for "It's Garry Shandling's Show", the beautifully obscure, groundbreaking late '80's sitcom. Anybody else remember this show in all of its knee-slapping, ass-kicking glory? Waiting for its production, will serve as a beautiful metaphor for my own quest for determining and ultimately proving God's existence.
Also: Where's season 2 of the Larry Sanders Show already? It's overdue. Good to see Newsradio and Night Court though.
